#Catholic communion

[middle-o-nowhere]

Soap: “Ye know, if you’re not picky, catholic communion can be tortilla chips and cider.”

Ghost: “…Johnny, What the hell are you on about?!”

Soap: “Or vodka and a dinner roll.”

Ghost: “I’m divorcing you.”

Soap: “…monster energy and pizza.”

Pope Saint Pius X

1835-1914

Feast day: August 21 (New), September 3 (Trad)

Patronage: First Communicants

Pope Pius X, born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, was the 257th pope of the Catholic Church, serving from 1903 to 1914. He was the first pope since Pope Pius V to be canonized. Pope Pius X is perhaps best remembered for his encouragement of the frequent reception of Holy Communion, especially for children. The second of 10 children in a poor Italian family, Joseph Sarto became Pius X at 68, one of the 20th century's greatest popes.

"Holy Communion is the shortest and fastest way to Heaven." - Pope Saint Pius X

KNEEL BEFORE GOD!!!

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. For the past few weeks, I've dragged viewers on a low-budget, self-indulgent exploration of a very specific question I used to have regarding a very particular part of Mass. The Boy (the short one in the blue suit) has acted as our guide through these explorations. The formula ran thuswise: The Boy asks a parishioner his question, the parishioner answers in a way which is reasonable on the surface, the parishioner then justifies their answer in a very unreasonable way, and finally the boy reacts to their absurdity. Indeed, all this time, The Boy has acted as an inquisitive voice of reason. With dignity, he has suffered the silliness of his fellow parishioners. With tranquility, he has immersed himself in the cold deep wet of their madness. All for answers. All for truth. But the cold of the abyss leaves a lingering chill. Even after you emerge, its depth pulls at your mind. Even after you dry, its wet clings to your soul. A man may leave the abyss, but the abyss is not so fickle. Nowhere is this clearer than at the end of this cartoon, for here, the formula is sundered. In this cartoon, it is not the interviewee who echoes the chaos of madness -- it is THE BOY. 2. The priest in this cartoon -- Fr. Fitzgerald -- finally gives the actual answer to the question we've been asking for weeks. However, the answer is basically, "Sticking together is preferred, but not strictly necessary." This unsettles The Boy, because while the answer was meant for the kneeling/sitting question ("Sticking together [by kneeling/sitting at the same time as the rest of the congregation after Communion] is preferred, but not strictly necessary"), the same sentence could be used to excuse to schismatics ("Sticking together [in the Catholic Church] is preferred, but not strictly necessary"). Of course, the priest wasn't saying such a thing, but the scandal of schism blinds The Boy to that fact. You could say he's suffering from aschismatism. You MUST say he's suffering for aSCHISMatism. SAY he's suffering from aSCHISMatism.

How I feel when i’m wearing a cute modest outfit

<3

[queerprayers]

i want to say first of all that i fully respect a community's/denomination's/culture's right to have closed practices. i am not entitled to other people's traditions, and when i am a guest in a space i understand that everything is not automatically for me. and i know i do not have to understand to respect.

and also! when i go to a catholic church and can't receive communion i want to fall on the floor weeping. what do you mean i can't have him he's right there. sorry my baptism was the wrong kind of baptism. i'm hungry and you want me to become someone else before being fed.

and to you, my favorite character, i give the highest honor i can bestow………… an incredibly specific religious headcanon

"What doth it avail thee to delay thy confession for a long time, or to put off the Holy communion?

Purge thyself with speed, spit out the venom presently, make haste to take this remedy, and thou shalt find it to be better for thee than if thou hadst deferred it for a long time.

If thou deferrest it today, for this cause, perhaps tomorrow a greater will occur and so thou mayest be hindered a long time from Communion, and become more unfit.

With all possible speed shake off this heaviness and sloth, for it is to no purpose to continue long in uneasiness, to pass a long time in trouble, and for these daily impediments to withdraw thyself from these divine mysteries.

Yea, it is very hurtful to delay the Communion long; for this usually causeth a great lukewarmness and numbness."

-Thomas a Kempis, Imitation of Christ

Listen there’s just something about experiencing the raw desperation of queer yearning to a point where experiencing it (and in turn getting to fulfill and express it) become akin to worship and devotion yknow when Hozier said “I should’ve worshipped her sooner, if the heavens ever did speak she’s the last true mouthpiece” and when Farouq Guwaidah said “but if the devil were to see you, he would kiss your eyes and repent” and when Emily Dickinson said “I would nestle close to your warm heart — is there any room there for me, or shall I wander away all homeless and alone?” and
